Ahmad and Mohamad Malas are Syrian actors and twin brothers. They fled their war-torn home country and sought refuge in France, where they wrote a tragicomedy inspired by “The Emigrants” by Slawomir Mrozek and by their own experiences. They have already performed in Jordan and France and will now show their play for the very first time in Belgium.

It is the story of two refugees who at first sight seem to have nothing in common. One is cultivated and sophisticated, the other is quite the opposite. They both fled their respective countries which were governed by tyrants to find themselves in a place where they have to communicate in broken French since they don’t have the same mother tongue. As the play progresses it becomes clear that the two men have more in common than they initially anticipated. They become real twins, united by the same fears, the same nostalgia and the same sufferance because of their forced exile.
